> things like piHole should get a 'new' lease of life. You could never implement what ublock origin does with simple DNS blocking. The way ublock origin works is by going after cross domain requests. But I imagine an HTTP proxy of some kind could do it. You’d get slightly higher latency (because you’d have to parse the HTML doc twice) But installing a chrome extension is piece of cake. Setting up a “pi hole” or proxy will never be as easy. So if even a few percent of users don’t bother, then Google makes more money selling ads. $$ That’s all that matters really. We’re taking about a company that stopped innovating and releasing new products eons ago. They’re just milking what they have until it dies.
